Re: Why do people hate allies so much?

(Anonymous) 2013-10-20 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I think for some people, who are part of a minority group, they may have had some bad experiences with allies (eg. when it's made all about the ally, and not about the cause). Have enough bad experiences over time, and you start to get grumpy and skeptical of people calling themselves allies.

The situation is probably made more difficult by the fact that neither "side" will ever understand one another - I mean, sure, on an intellectual and emotional level, but someone who is white is never going to 100% experience what it's like to be black, and vice versa. Or straight and LGBTQ, male and female, etc.
